MelanieGame development. Yes, we are still doing it. Today, I am looking at the charts I have spent the past 4 weeks on: balancing inflammation damage and energy gains. Each cell type does damage to the surrounding tissue as it kills pathogens. Each pathogen provides energy as it melts away in its pool of acid,
